Open Form (Comments)

Jo Ann Lyons present at meeting to ask the league to allow her 10 year old son (he has played in the Mitey Mite division the last 2 years) can remain in the Mitey Mite division again; not comfortable with moving him up.  Vote -  (yes) unanimous 

Brandie found a website with various different tournaments for the girls to try to get into this season (need to look at dates and cost; if so would need to hold try-outs soon for any girls interested in trying out for the team) would need 12-13 girls plus 3 alternates for each division

New Draft rule: Manage keeps kids from last season unless moving up (*if manager moves up, coaches that stay will take over the team and get 1 coach pick) if we have to reduce teams in the division ( manager will keep 5 and everyone else will go back into the draft)

Check with Mike Young to see if Jindra 2 (backstop got fixed), mound on Major field got done (* when field gets dragged try not to burry the rubber and base posts)

Looking into different fields to use throughout the city (possibilities of using the high school field on Saturdays for “Rain-out” games; maybe using Knells park for the Mitey Mite division or Borromeo (waiver form - named on Insurance to use field)

Background checks - wait to see what Terry Heil found out, if he talked to Vic and what code we would be in violation of if we don't get the background checks done

Tim Stopp (City Recreation Dept) addressed the city looking into re-vamping  Jindra Park; adding a extra field for baseball and a soccer field.  If this goes through construction will start after the last pitch in 2010; will not be able to use those field in the 2011 season.  Plans are to have the dug-out be covered and possible place for a concession stand.  Suggested that mates in batters boxes and under benches would be nice to help with standing water problems.
